Answer:
Option A
Explanation:
Only an autotrophic species can convert methane into food.
Deep below the sea, methane and hydrogen sulfide are found in abundance. These gases get mixed into the sea water.
Autotrophic bacteria containing phosynthetic pigments oxidize these dissolved gases thereby producing food.
Hence these autotrophic bacteria’s will be considered as producers as they produce food.
Thus, option A is correct.
